My space: Bronx, an inter/action
Saturday, October 4th- anytime between 12 noon and 12 midnight

This one-day event will be the third installment in a series of interactive pieces entitled "Live Gestures", where I create environments that enable social and communicative encounters between the public and the artist/artwork.

For My space: Bronx, I'm inviting the public to participate in a collaborative painting which will encompass all of the surface area of the exhibition space at Bronx Blue Bedroom Project (BBBP). This project, which incorporates painting and new media such as video and web casting, explores three main issues: how technology is changing the way we communicate; how we view and interact with art and each other; and the importance of process in art and our daily lives. Ultimately, this project celebrates human interaction and participatory experience. Kids are welcome and will receive VIP treatment. The results of this experiment will be on view through October 27th at BBBP. The process will be captured through video and transmitted live online through www.BlogTv.com/people/myspace, an online video and live broadcasting website.

Advice: visitors wishing to participate during the opening should come equipped with an old t-shirt or other clothes they don't mind getting paint on.

With the support of the Bronx Council on the Arts and The Mexican Cultural Institute of New York
